we'll be having a nice little concert on January 31st in our hometown, be there! Our friends from geÄst were supposed to support us, but couldn't make it because their drummer left the band. They're looking for a new guy - maybe you - and will definitely join us for some future gigs once the problem is solved. Doom/sludge lords hessaja will fill in for them. Also, Thakandar from Osnabrück, an obscure and criminally underrated black/death metak quintett, will join us as a special guest. Do not miss their show, as they only play about once or twice a year these days, and they're actually really good.

Furthermore, we'll have a first recoding session for the next album in early February, as well as another gig on March 29th in Frankfurt, supporting Solbrud from Copenhagen, Danmark.

We have also joined Undergrounded's band support, so we hope to kick some more asses this year.

Only that there will be none this year, as nobody has managed to piss
me off recently enough to justify ranting and rambling. I'll take a
short moment and reflect on how 2014 has been going for us, though.

Basically, we have played only a few live gigs and spent most of the
time in our rehearsal space. It's not exactly been a busy year, but a
very creative one, and we have managed
to come up with almost an hour's worth of songs. We'll be recording some
of them in early February, the rest will follow as soon as we have
time, money and the ability to play them flawlessly. As much as I still
think the (much criticized) harsh and dirty sound on our last album was
the right choice for those songs, I think we will take a slightly
different approach this time. We will still record live in the studio,
but our new stuff has turned out to be a bit more intricate and
complicated songwriting-wise, so they deserve a sound that's a bit
"cleaner."

Speaking of songwriting - have I mentioned
before that we're actually working on a kind of concept album? Not that
we have some kind of storyline, but the lyrics are a lot more connected
this time, as opposed to the last album, where I wrote them over a
period of 5 years. From the arising world political situation at the
time (mind you, BEFORE the Ukraine and IS clusterfucks) we decided to
deal with the topic of dystopia and the decay of industrialized
societies. It's probably been done to death before, but we'll present
our take, dealing with the shit that's been going on and a left hand
path view on it. Hopefully without delving into
horror-movie-we're-all-gonna-die-covered-in-blisters-and-fistraped-by-demons scenarios.

And we're quite serious about it... I mean, I personally don't expect a
thermonuclear apocalypse anytime soon (which is why it's not really
appearing on our album either), but the party as we know it might
definitely be over within our lifetime. Now you decide whether that's a
good or a bad thing, opinions on that probably even vary within the
band. Which is reflected in the lyrics, which I didn't write all alone
this time.

Anyways, stay tuned and visit us at our concert on
January 31st in Darmstadt, we'll already be presenting a few songs off
the upcoming album there.

I close this with a thank you to my
band mates who have worked with me tirelessly to craft one after the
other piece of black art. 2015 will stand in the sign of the Tyrant.
Now, enjoy New Year's Eve, everyone.

Mission

Aggressive underground black metal power trio, established in 2010, deeply influenced by the Scandinavian second wave and old school heavy metal. Neither do we give a fuck about new trends, nor do we let ourselves be limited by what the pretentious wannabe black metal elite deems to be "true." We create black art from the deepest pits of our souls, and your opinion is as irrelevant to that process as any so-called "scene." The product of art is for the enjoyment of the people, but the creative process is for the enjoyment of the artist.

Live shows are essential to our perception of black art, as it is the only time these two come together. We strive to create a dense athmosphere and an intense and otherwordly experience for ourselves as well as for the audience. Frankincense smoke and face paint are essential to that.

We do not associate with idiots. Especially not of the far-right kind. Go fuck off, you have absolutely nothing in common with us.
